Throw a Bikini Beach Bridal Bash

If you're not able to hit the sand and surf this National Bikini Day, you can celebrate at home by checking out the beach party movies of the '60s like Beach Party, Bikini Beach, and Beach Blanket Bingo, all starring the late, great Annette Funicello. The series of films were inspired by the 1959 film Gidget about a young surfer girl, which had several sequels and was adapted into the '60s TV show starring Sally Field.

These swingin' '60s films and shows featured lots of bikinis, beach locales, musical numbers, and girlie retro style — so we couldn't think of a better bridal shower theme than one inspired by the beach party trend of the era. Think Tiki bars, pool lounging, and Mad Men-esque attire. Check out retro beach inspiration for your bridal shower, bachelorette party, or just Summer soiree now!

There's some super cute ideas here! I wanted something similar for my own bridal shower because I'm not a fan of the traditional, and at least ended up having a jack and jill shower as an alternative. Loving the retro pool ideas and possibilities for creative cocktail choices.
